Ukrainian refugee killed in North Carolina gets dragged into political messaging war
Politico ^ | 9/8/25 | Jacob Wendler

A young refugee from Ukraine who was killed in an apparently random attack in North Carolina is being pulled into America’s culture war.

Iryna Zarutska, who was stabbed on a light-rail train last month in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a man with a history of mental illness and previous arrests, became the subject of a social media post Monday by President Donald Trump and his focus on crime.

Huh? How is the murder of an innocent young woman by a person who was released 14 times on no cash bail, part of the "culture war"?

Liberal "logic", I guess.

1. Ignore the murder
2. Tell media to ignore the murder
As X and other socials cause the story to reach ‘critical mass’ ...
3. Make the story about the ‘right wing’ influencers
4. Interview locals concerned about ‘backlash’
5. Ignore the murder

"The blood of this innocent woman can literally be seen dripping from the killer’s knife, and now her blood is on the hands of the Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail"

This is what Politico is trying to obscure. I would extend that culpability to Lefty virtue signalers and associated groups like BLM. Special consideration goes to the mockingbird media, who tried to bury the story at first, but are now trying to spin it.

Jacob Wendler is too stupid to understand what true racism is. Slashing the throat of a beautiful white girl for no reason other than she is white, is no less racist than dragging a young black boy down a gravel road with a rope around his neck. Either is NOT acceptable.

I’ll be driving by the county Democrat HQ to see if the Ukraine flag and posters have been taken down.

It was NOT random.

She was white.

If she were black, I might buy the random thing.

The issue is about crime prevention. Democrats have become the culture of crime, since Trump is on the side of law and order. So it’s a culture war to them.

Jake is an idiot.

“a man with a history of mental illness and previous arrests” should be locked up …. somewhere.

Failure of government to perform basic duties for decades. You can bet the Charlotte mayor is all in about say, fine-tuning the weather a hundred years from now. This gets a whole lot worse before it gets worse.

Neither his criminality nor his mental illness was properly addressed.

Just when you think we have reached a limit to the hatred we have for urinalists and their DNC johns. I Ryan wasn’t dragged anywhere. She was brutally murdered by a democrat party foot soldier.

That's the modern symptom.

The cause was in 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson and his democrat henchmen.

The welfare rule that throws fathers out of the house.

Generations of feral "youths" have been the result. No morals, sense of personal responsibility or self control.

bail(n.1)
“bond money, security given to obtain the release of a prisoner,” late 15c., a sense that apparently developed from that of “temporary release (of an arrested person) from jail” (into the custody of another, who gives security for future appearance at trial), which is recorded from early 15c. That seems to have evolved from the earlier meanings “captivity, custody” (late 14c.), “charge, guardianship” (early 14c.).

https://www.etymonline.com/word/bail

bailment /bāl′mənt/
noun
The act of delivering goods or personal property to another in trust.
The action of bailing a person accused.
A delivery of goods or money by one person to another in trust, for some special purpose, upon a contract, expressed or implied, that the trust shall be faithfully executed.

I respectfully disagree. I sadly feel the next person in that seat was going to die.

It is wicked logic. When politics is a religion virtue is lost.

Jacob Wendler is too stupid to understand what true racism is.

He is quite capable of understanding it; his ideological bent and/or paycheck demands that he do his best to obfuscate reality and keep the con going.
